DISCLAIMER: Each alternator and/or alternator kit should come with its own installation instructions. The instructions provided by the manufacturer of the alternator and/or the alternator kit provider take precedence of these instructions.

Applicable to these part numbers:

Civilian models

If you purchased a main harness from me:

  1. Connect the black wire to the positive terminal of the coil.
  2. Plug the connector into the alternator.
  3. At the alternator, connect the red wire with the 6 mm ring terminal to the post on the alternator.

If you purchased a separate alternator harness from me:

  1. Connect the black wire to the positive terminal of the coil.
  2. Identify the red wire that was connected to your old generator. This is the wire that goes to the dash console to illuminate the charging light. Crimp on the provided terminal to this red wire. Then, insert this terminal into the connector next to the black wire.
  3. Plug the connector into the alternator.
  4. At the alternator, connect the red wire with the 6 mm ring terminal to the post on the alternator.

The black wire with the 4 mm male bullet terminal is plugged into the bottom of the fuse block: into receptacle three or four (count from the left, as when facing the headlight bucket).
